15.4.1.1. Plain areas

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the recommended density of rain gauges in plain areas according to IMD?

   Hint

   Think about the specific metric mentioned in our lesson.

2. 2.

   Name one factor that influences rain gauge station placement.

   Hint

   Consider geographical features or uniformity in rainfall.

3. 3.

   What is the standard rain gauge density set by IMD for plain areas?

   • 1 station per 520 km²
   • 1 station per 100 km²
   • 2 stations per 1000 km²

   Hint

   Look for the specific number mentioned in our discussions.

4. 4.

   True or False: Hydrological homogeneity signifies that rainfall conditions are highly varied.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the definition we covered.

5. 5.

   Analyze a region in India with inconsistent rainfall patterns and propose a revised rain gauge density plan.

   Hint

   Focus on the specific characteristics of the chosen region.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the impact of insufficient rain gauge network density on agricultural productivity in plain areas.

   Hint

   Think about the reliance of farmers on accurate rainfall information.
